So, I've got an anvil, a make-shift oxy-propane forge, some damn fine hammers, and a whole stack of 1/16" thick 6V4Al Titanium strips.
Has anyone ever made pattern welded Titanium before? Any tips? Or should I just go give it a shot and see what happens.
They use borax to coat normal steel when folding and pattern welding. Should I use the same with Titanium?
I watched a few vid's on youtube of some guy blacksmithing titanium into knives, and I watched a bunch more on folks making pattern welded steel, and it seemed like a good time to try a combo.
